My Birthday and Penultimate Week in Drake Bay
... again with his parents, which is when we saw the Tapir, Squirrel Monkeys and the Great Tinamou (big weird bird that makes ghostlike noises, I hear it all the time but hadn’t seen it so far).
The next day, Mark spotted a Sloth had come down a tree for a poo right next to a path. They only come down to poo about once a week and it’s really rare to see. Usually when you see a Sloth, it’s way up high in ...

Now this was a HIKE!
... to hike to San Pedrillo Ranger Station in Corcovado National Park. The hike was a 12 mile round trip hike through the densest part of the rain forest with elevations from sea level to 1000 feet. Oh did I mention that we going to do this hike in muck boots (aka Rain Boots). You are probably asking why in the world would we hike in rain boots instead of awesome hiking boots.
